Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 158 Why Me Again

At FX International Group

"You tricked me yesterday. Annie has never contacted C Financial Group," Rain glumly said to Edward.

He was sitting on the sofa sluggishly.

"Relax, nothing happened." Edward raised his head to glance at him. He then continued with his work.

"Are you sure? Did Luke check everything?" Rain got thrilled to hear that.

"Yes. Everything was clear yesterday." Edward frowned, looking at an application for financial

assistance sent by an army group. They were asking a lot, but the amount was just a tip of the iceberg

for him.

"Unbelievable! Why didn't you tell me about it til now? I thought about it all night yesterday. Look at the

dark circles around my eyes!" Rain jumped off the sofa and stood close to Edward to show him his

black eyes.

"You didn't ask. I assumed you wasn't interested." Edward looked at Rain and found that he seemed

just a little tired.

"That's because I was too busy entertaining the people from C Financial Group. I didn't have the time

to call you and ask. Also, I was afraid to hear bad news." His voice went low with the last sentence. No

news was still good news. So he had been avoiding any news concerning her.

Edward laughed. He knew very well that Rain didn't tend on the guests. He was too scared. With

Annie's incident, Edward got to know who Rain really was.

"What's your opinion on this matter?" Edward passed him the file and waited for his reply.

"This is a sponsorship plan from some army group. How are we connected to them? Did this come via

Daisy?" Rain was confused. They had never done any business with the army. Edward used to

immediately throw away such files. Why was he interested suddenly?"

"Daisy didn't give me this. I'm just interested." Edward sneered. He remembered the conversation he

had overheard a few days back. 'They think Daisy has a weak background? Let me make her

background stronger. Nobody can treat my wife in such a highhanded manner!'

"That's a lot of money. Besides, I don't see how this benefits us." Rain started to carefully analyze the

file. 500 million dollars was a meager amount for their company, but they were businessmen, they Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

didn't get involved in an unprofitable business.

"You're right. It is unprofitable to us, but it may benefit Daisy." Edward leaned against the back of his

chair in disapproval. Since those people were keen on connections, he couldn't miss this opportunity.

"Daisy? I don't understand." He wondered how Daisy was involved in this since she didn't send the file.

"You don't need to understand. What do you think of the plan?" Edward tapped on the table, looking

positive.

"In terms of sponsorship, I don't think we should waste money on an unprofitable business, but if it is

good for Daisy, it is fine with me." Rain tossed the file back on the table and squinted at Edward with

crossed arms.

"OK, then you are in charge of the negotiations. I will take over afterward." Edward grinned. He was

going to keep Rain busy so that he didn't get the time to complain again.

"Why me again? I already have a lot of files piling up on my table." Rain rolled his eyes, thinking, 'What

a typical businessman! He can't live one second without thinking of ways to exploit me!'

"Because you showed up here early in the morning to complain and I had to listen to you, in spite of

being busy." Edward gracefully sipped a mouthful of coffee and looked at him provocatively.

"Boss, you can't bully me like this. I have been working long hours for so long that my skin is getting

worse." Rain was distressed. He resentfully looked at Edward who was smirking. Rain wanted to punch

him in the face.

"You're a man. Since when do you care about preserving your skin? Are you turning into a

transsexual?" Edward couldn't stand him paying so much attention to his appearance. Rain was a

handsome man, yet he was incessantly worried about his looks. No wonder Justin and the others

called him a sissy.

"You care about your skin too. Why else do you hate being in the sun?" Rain felt cheated. 'Why do I

have to be exposed to the bad weather while he gets to stay in his comfortable air-conditioned office?

Moreover, I have to endure his torment too. He's really a ruthless bully.'

"I don't hate being in the sun. I just can't bear the heat. OK?" Edward threw him a glare. His schedule

was already full in this month. He didn't have the time for meaningless discussions.

"Huh, what's the difference? You are a hypocrite. You think you are some kind of a prince." Rain shook

his head. He looked at Edward disdainfully and wondered how his skin was smoother and softer than

women.

"No difference? How about me also assigning you to the scandal of the entertainment company? It's no

different from the case you just took over. You are dealing with problems anyway." Edward had been

stressed by the entertainment company. He wanted to assign it to Rain.

"No. These are two different cases. You're busy but I also have a lot of work. I need to go." Alas! That

was scary. With the reporters and the complaints of the female stars, the gossip would be exhausting.

He was smart enough to perceive it and run away from it.
